	~~{{LSLG\|llForeach}}~~		Reasons not to implement this suggestion as it is currently formulated:
			#Associative Arrays would be double the memory footprint of ordinary lists. Memory limitations are a major concern.
			#It would require major changes to LSL in bytecode, functions and syntax.
			#*There are no LSO bytecodes currently implemented that can perform these tasks. This is not a trivial change.
			#*Obviously the LSL compiler would need to be changed to support this new syntax. This is not a trivial change.
			#*Since the array type is new, there are no functions that can deal with it.
			#The difference between list and array syntax could be confusing to both the compiler and user, excluding associative arrays there is no meaningful reason why array style syntax can't be implemented with lists.

Please invent Array[]s

creating the variable type Array[] would make life a lot easier!
